The independent animated feature film directed by Michael P. Heneghan. It took three years to make. There was no budget. It came out weird. It is unlike any animated film ever made.
Synopsis:
Deep within a mythological world of autumn landscapes and wondrous creatures, a heartbroken young Romantic swears an oath to free his race from the omnipotent control of the otherworldly gods. But as he ventures forth on his long and lascivious path, other forces conspire with their own agendas. For when all the gods are dead, who will sit upon their empty thrones? A fantastical satire on religion, responsibility, and romance, The Romantic bends genres into a haunting tale filled with humor and horror.
Written and Directed by Michael P. Heneghan
with Assistant Direction by Daniel Gauthier
and original music by Nathan Terry.
